I’m not sure I have ever seen someone give a speech at a formal occasion as drunk as Rudy Giuliani is right now at the 9/11 dinner.

Rudy rolled into the 9/11 dinner drunk out of his mind tonight. Here he is giving his Queen Elisabeth impression, and assuring the audience he was never with a young girl and Prince Andrew.

It is unthinkable that someone who played such a high profile role on 9/11 should deteriorate so publicly, so dramatically, and say things that are so embarrassing to us as a nation, like what he did with the queen imitation.

The thing about prince Andrew... Methinks he doth protest too much.

But not actually withdrawing, instead keeping US control of Bagram AFB, cause it's 400 miles from China?

Any chance we could SEE that magnificent, SIGNED agreement, RUDY?

Cause I don't think any such thing exists, myself.

If we got in a war with China we would be way over-extended with a major base that close.
Some people would call it a sitting duck in a war with China.
Probably the first thing China would take out.
Might cost them some, but they would.

It's suspected to be the largest copper site in the world. They've already built housing, a railroad and made other infrastructure upgrades to the area for themselves and the locals. I don't expect they'll be bombing anything there any time soon. They've got their eyes on Afghanistan's REEs and precious gems that are estimated to be worth $3 trillion and possibly more.

Fun fact: it's the same place the 911 hijackers trained.

She was offering you an honorary title you fucking moron. Pretty sure Eisenhower, Regan, Bush and Colin Powell kept their citizenship. You are either a drunken liar or too stupid a lawyer to know that you can accept an honorary title. Again I say, fucking moron, drunken fucking moron.

Eisenhower received his knighthood in 1943, before assuming the presidency in 1953. But Ronald Reagan wasn't made a knight until 1989, after his presidency ended.

On December 15, 1993, Colin Powell was created an honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

I know ol’ Rudy has sunk to some low levels but this needs to seal the deal that he’ll never be invited to participate in a “tribute to 9/11 event” ever again. That was a disgrace.

He condemned his brother, Fred Jr., because of his drinking problem (more like exploited it in order to take over their father's business) but he's fine with Rudy's drunken stand-up routines.
